− | This comic | + | This comic explains the {{w|Drake equation}} which is a model for estimating the number of life forms in our galaxy. It adds a factor for the "Amount of bullshit you're willing to buy from Frank Drake." This is most likely due to the factors being difficult to measure or estimate with sufficient accuracy for determining a concrete number. |
